Abstract
A 9-year-old dachshund was brought to our clinic suffering from alopecia, widely distributed pigmentation, and bilateral cryptorchidism with high concentration of urinary estrogen. A mass (17×15×13 cm) surgically resected from the abdominal cavity was submitted to histopathological examination and diagnosed as seminoma. After surgery, the dog was afflicted by serious anemia characterized by spherocytes and reticulocytes, increased leukocyte count, and the appearance of platelets and lysemia. These findings suggest that the anemia may be immune-mediated hemolytic anemia.
